TCW Launches $370 Million Core Plus Fixed Income ETF

Mutual Fund Conversion Adds to Growing Suite of Actively Managed Fixed Income ETFs

The TCW Group, a leading global investment firm, today announced that it has completed the conversion of the TCW MetWest Intermediate Bond Fund (Ticker: MWIIX) into a new exchange-traded fund (ETF), the TCW Core Plus Bond ETF (Ticker: FIXT).

FIXT is the newest addition to TCW’s suite of actively managed ETFs, which seek to provide investors with the benefits of transparency, low cost, intra-day trading and flexibility. FIXT is a core plus fixed income ETF designed to help maximize total return while maintaining broad market exposure. The fund invests across a broad range of fixed income sectors, allowing the investment team to opportunistically shift allocations based on changing market conditions.

“The conversion of FIXT continues our more than 50-year heritage in providing world-class products that allow investors to capitalize on attractive alpha opportunities while actively seeking to mitigate downside risk,” said Jennifer Grancio, Global Head of Distribution at TCW. “TCW has more than doubled its ETF assets since last year, and we see continued strong interest in our suite of active ETFs as investors and advisors seek attractive yield and total return for their portfolios.”

FIXT is TCW’s seventh fixed income ETF since the launch of its fixed income ETF platform in mid-2024. TCW’s other fixed income ETFs are the TCW Flexible Income ETF (FLXR), TCW AAA CLO ETF (ACLO), TCW Corporate Bond ETF (IGCB), TCW High Yield Bond ETF (HYBX), TCW Multisector Credit Income ETF (MUSE), and TCW Senior Loan ETF (SLNZ). TCW’s fixed income ETF platform today manages over $2 billion in assets.

“Our active approach and track record in managing through changing market environments allows us to be nimble in seeking to be overweight more favorable opportunities while underweighting less appealing market segments,” said Bryan Whalen, Chief Investment Officer of TCW. “FIXT provides investors the potential for attractive returns while providing ballast in a diversified portfolio.”

INVESTMENT RISKS

TCW Core Plus Bond Fund ETF (FIXT) is subject to the following risks: High yield securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher-rated securities. It is important to note that the Fund is not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk, the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk, and price volatility risk. Funds investing in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and an investor can lose principal. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. MBS related to floating rate loans may exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation of similar credit quality. With respect to non-agency MBS, there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in pools created by non-governmental issuers. Non-agency MBS are also not subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee. The Fund’s investments denominated in foreign currencies will decline in value if the foreign currency declines in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Fund share prices and returns will fluctuate with market conditions, currencies, and the economic and political climates where the investments are made. The securities markets of emerging market countries can be extremely volatile. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities often involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. All investing involves risk including the potential loss of principal. Market volatility may significantly impact the value of your investments. Recent tariff announcements may add to this volatility, creating additional economic uncertainty and potentially affecting the value of certain investments. Tariffs can impact various sectors differently, leading to changes in market dynamics and investment performance. Please see the Fund’s Prospectus for more information on these and other risks.
